NPL, Teddington, 6-8 November 2018

The training aims in improving the knowledge of the laboratory staff in EURAMET NMI/DIs on maintenance of primary mass standards and the calibration of mass standards to OIML Class E1 level uncertainties. The course objectives are for participants to;

• Become familiar with mass scale
• Understand traceability in the mass area
• Understand the different weight classes
• Become familiar with good practice in weight inspection, handling and calibration
• Carry out ABA and ABABA calibrations
• Understand buoyancy corrections and how to apply them
• Carry out balance assessments
• Understand and produce uncertainty budgets for mass calibrations

The course will comprise a mixture of approximately 1 ½ days of formal lectures and 1 ½ days of practical sessions (see programme overview).  

The target audience of the training are metrology staff members from EURAMET NMI/DIs who are less experienced in mass calibration at the OIML E1 level of uncertainty. Participants are expected to have basic knowledge of mass measurements.
